We've pulled together all the info you need to make your flight an enjoyable experience. Follow our tips and tricks and you'll be cruising through airport security and having a ball in Baon before you know it. What to pack in your hand luggage:
- Air travel can be a great experience if you've got all the right gear. First things first, you'll need basic toiletries, such as deodorant and a toothbrush, a spare pair of socks and a few magazines. Next, find a spot in your bag for your mobile phone, a charger, medications and maybe a neck pillow too. Lastly, be sure to take your passport, travel documents and some money.
Do not pack the following items in your hand luggage:
- Double-check that you don't have sharp or pointed objects lurking in your hand luggage. Other banned items include flammable or explosive goods, such as aerosol cans and bleach, and liquids and gels in containers with a capacity of more than 3.4 ounces (100 millilitres).
What to wear on a flight:
- The aisles of an aircraft are no place for a fashion parade. Layer up with comfy clothing and pick shoes that are flat, roomy and easy to take on and off.
- Deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a blood clotting condition caused by lengthy periods of inactivity, can be a risk on long-haul flights. Wander around the cabin and stretch your legs or do some gentle exercises in your seat to improve your circulation.
